WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Lisa produced a great product that is better than what I expected. I found that going through the worksheet was helpful in bringing new things to mind – things that weren’t originally on the resume I produced – that translated to my final resume. I found your method very effective. By setting parameters for review & deadlines eliminated the normal mundane ‘back-and-forth’ that is all too often present in projects nowadays. I did recommend DCS to two of my colleagues & also to my sister.

J.C., California

Michelle, A quick note from a VERY happy client…Just had an opportunity to go through the first draft of Sharon’s work. I am so impressed. She has done a wonderful job. And mine is not one that is copy and paste from others like me. My current job, in particular, is pretty esoteric. And, Sharon NAILED it! Look forward to wrapping this up. In the meantime, thank you for pairing me with such a great professional! Happy to help on referrals. Great product, great value and great experience so far.

D.M., New Hampshire

I have already said thank you and in fact, I do not have the proper words in my vocabulary to express what I feel for your product. My resume is something out of this world! I also mentioned to XXXX that my daughter and I (here in RSA) have never yet seen such quality, the quality that is included in your end product. Yes indeed, I am more than grateful for what you did for me. I have already shown it to a number of people in this country; people who are planning moves to the USA. Your website, your name, your numbers are all readily being tossed around here, and I hope these people will soon be contacting you and your company. Thank you once again for a super superior resume!

J.S., South Africa

I am a very satisfied customer as result of the resume writing that Laura completed for me. The content for the two versions of my resume was excellent. I think she emphasized all the best elements of my professional experience. I particularly like her style of writing! THANK YOU Laura!

R.R., Massachusetts

Sharon is a terrific partner in this process! She did an excellent job of reframing my experience (very difficult to do) and producing a “clean” resume. Excellent quality and writing (and I’m very, very particular about writing style and form). Every contact I had with your organization was highly professional and 100% customer focused. Thank you! I would love to have the opportunity to work with Sharon and your organization again…you delivered a high-quality product in a timely, professional fashion.

M.M. North Carolina

The quality of service by my resume writer Lisa was excellent…Both products prepared for me were amazing products. I am very happy with the results…The customer service and attention to detail of all respresentatives that I dealt with during the ordering, production, and editing/revision process were absolutely professional, courteous, and pleasant to experience

D.D., Florida

I wanted to let you know that in an interview today (large project management/consulting firm), I was complemented on the quality of my resume. The interviewer said it was one of the best he’s seen. I followed up with the “thank you for the interview letter” which, is excellent as well. I thought you should know what an impact your work is making in my career search and I’m grateful that out of all the choices that I had, I selected your firm (and you). Anyway, it appears that I’m on my way, thanks to your ability to put my career and value proposition on 2 sheets of paper!

K.O., Missouri

Thank you so much! It really was a pleasure working with you and loved how seamless the process was from start to finish. I look forward to working with you and the team at Distinctive Career Services on future projects and will definitely recommend you to friends and family!

S.P., California

I wanted to get back with you and let you know that on Friday, I accepted a job for which I am very excited. I will [be starting soon] as the Vice President, Sales and Marketing…It is a great opportunity to leverage my last 10 years in college and university relations and youth marketing. It is also located right here in XXXXX, about four miles from my house!… I want to sincerely thank you for all of your help through this process. The resume that you created was absolutely critical in my landing this position. I had more than a half a dozen interviews within weeks of circulating my resume, was a finalist for three positions and was offered two positions. The one that I accepted is without a doubt the best fit. I am truly thankful and feel very blessed to have had my search turn out this way…I will continue to recommend your services very highly.

S.K., Arizona

Very positive experience on all levels. First draft was nearly perfect. Revision requests returned as requested. Keep up the good work.I already have made recommendations

R.M., Florida

Michelle Dumas’ development of my resume resulted in an outstanding document. My first submittal to various contacts and executive recruiters resulted in six solid job opportunities within two weeks…… Nothing short of phenomenal. I believe the professional structure of my resume opened these doors. I highly endorse Distinctive Documents.

J.G., California

Just wanted to thank you and Marie! Old resume wasn’t getting results. The new resume you folks made has been getting hits like crazy! And just accepted a new position locally, thanks.

R.C., Florida

A truly top-notch organization! From start to finish, each phone contact, e-mail reminder, ease-of-use worksheets….a absolute pleasure to work with such professionals. It really puts your mind to ease as the customer. The job search and interview process is stressful enough….your team takes so much of that away knowing that I can present a resume represents me and my accomplishments. In this way, my first impression will shine!!

J.F., New Jersey

Michelle was very friendly and extremely professional. After she completed my resume I sent out only two resumes and actually received both interviews! I accepted one of these positions at an annual salary $12,000 higher than I was receiving previously…

J.V., New Hampshire

Hi Michelle! I’m very, very pleased with this document! It’s accurate and very-well stated. This is truly a “Distinctive Document” as promised”! This is exactly the resume that I wanted! Now I know why your organization is the first hit on the internet when searching for a resume writer. I think the reason why it has taken me so long to complete this project is because subconsciously I’ve enjoyed the collaboration . Combined with my sense of trust since our first phone conversation, and your professionalism has been very comforting. Just wanted a minute to say what I really feel. Thanks!

C.M., Germany

I just want to compliment you again on the fabulous service you provide. I am sure your new offerings will bring you even greater success. I am so glad I found you. I looked at other resume preparation services but yours was definitely the most compelling. Everyone I have shown my resume to is very impressed. I have given them your name and website (along with a glowing recommendation of course). I really can’t thank you enough. I am very excited about the possibilities that await me. I guess I never realized the number of skills I have and things that I have accomplished until you organized them so coherently.

S.S., New Jersey

Hooking up with Michelle Dumas and Distinctive Documents three years ago was like adding rocket fuel to my career trajectory. I subsequently was promoted from senior writer to editorial creative director and then editor in chief with Muscle & Fitness, a major national fitness magazine. Concurrently, I also opened a series of new freelance writing accounts, including one with Men’s Health, the world’s largest men’s magazine, and signed three progressively more lucrative book deals, most recently with LL Cool J as my collaborator. In every instance, the resume Michelle initially created for me, and the lasting impression it leaves, cracked open the door. It’s an amazing confidence builder to sit down for an interview with the CEO of a major American publishing company and have him look down and say, “Wow–that’s a really impressive resume.” And the fact that a professional writer turns to her for assistance tells you how good she is.

J.O., California

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that hiring Michelle was the best investment I’ve ever made in my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent. Above and beyond the quality of Michelle’s work, the way she goes about doing it is a revelation. Her adherence to process, deadlines and quality control is so unyielding that I’ve been inspired to apply it to my own work as well. When she says something, she inevitably holds herself to it, which is rare these days. In sum, to anyone looking for a resume consultant, I give Michelle Dumas the highest recommendation I can possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You won’t be disappointed.

J.O., California

Keep up the good work, I’m sure I’ll be a return customer. Put Marie in for a Bonus she bent over backwards to ensure I was satisfied. Thanks for everything!

M.T., Oregon

Well, you did it again. I got the job at xxxxxx as the Budget Manager. With the cover letter and the resume that you provided for me I could not go wrong. We make a great team. Thank you. I am passing on your information to my coworkers who hope to use your services. Thank you!

S.F., Maryland

A few months ago you rewrote my resume for me. I can’t say how grateful and thankful I am that I chose to let Distinctive Documents assist with my new resume. I accepted a position with Xxxxxx and I leave for Xxxxx on 4 Sept. Now I will be able to pay my home off in a couple of months and get one of my rental properties paid off within the year. Thanks again & GOD BLESS!

D.H., North Carolina

My opportunity search is going reasonably well. I have had about 6 agencies submit me to about 10 openings. Half of those agencies I had not worked with previously and had to go interview with them to prove that I can dress myself correctly etc. All of them were pleased with the new resume. One just couldn’t stop saying “wow”. Two of the agencies asked for info on where I had it done and I gave them the pertinent details. I believe they were interested in using your services for some of their clients vs having someone in house or local, especially after seeing the spectacular job you did on mine.

T.M., Canada

Of the 10 openings they submitted my resume to, I have had one two-hour interview (managers in a different city) and three company site interviews. I believe I have a good chance of receiving an offer from the last one I did of these on Friday. In addition to the agencies,  I have researched approximately 40 companies…For handful that were especially interesting, I spent some extra effort on company research and customized the blind-submittal letter to target them…None of these direct contacts had a relevant position advertised on their website or any of the job boards . . . Of all of these, one of them has responded favorably and has given me two rounds of interviews thus far. They are in the process of drafting a contract offer, which I hope to see soon. This was a company that didn’t even know they were in need of someone like me before my resume/letter came floating into their view.

T.M., Canada

Just dropping you a quick note to let you know that I have received the first contract draft for my new position. It will be a one year contract at a leading Canadian fixed-wireless internet service provider. Decent rate, decent people, interesting work all await me next week. This was a place that I had mentioned previously that didn’t have any positions of this type advertised at all, and didn’t consciously know they needed my help, before the wonderful new resume landed in front of them. I attribute my landing of this contract almost 100% to the super job you did on my resume. I had the raw materials, but you sure got them to “clean up nice”

T.M., Canada

Your work is incredible. I thought I had a pretty good resume to start. But after reading these, I want to hire me because I know this guy can change the world. But based on his qualifications and achievements, I probably can’t afford him!

K.D., Wisconsin

I am so pleased with the quality of your work and the service received that I have already passed your name and website address to several people!! It is amazing and quite impressive to me how you so easily interpret a couple of sentences in a profile and turn it into a professional document that articulates and describes my roles and responsibilities to a tee! Very rarely do I encounter such great customer service and response times to inquiries…that alone sold me on your services. I will continue working with you for as long as you stay in business or until I retire from working! Again, thanks so much on a great job…I’ll keep you posted on my job search success.

E.D., Maryland

I am getting a lot of compliments on my resume prepared by Marie!! [She also] did a GREAT (EXCELLENT) job on my cover letter targeted to recruiters!

D.K., Wisconsin

After the initial shock of your wonderful work, I seriously looked at my cover letter. I believe it to be in great shape…I thank you for your assistance. I am quite impressed with what you have done. I honestly feel you have captured the essence of what I wanted to accomplish with a cover letter. Regardless of me getting this job, I want you to know, what may seem a small amount of work for you has left me proud of my own abilities. In addition, I would like to thank you for the suggestions you have made for my resume. I WILL put them to use.

W.K., Virginia

Thank you so much for sending me the email with all finalized project files. I have opened them and saved them on my laptop. I will also save a backup copy. Michelle S. did a great job with my resume and cover letter and I am very happy… I will be sure to refer any friends and thanks.

M.R., New York

Outstanding quality and professionalism. The writer was excellent (hope to again work with her on future updates, focus resumes, thank you letters, etc.) She was creative, thought provoking and openly shared her knowledge and experience. I could not be more satisfied with the end result. Great investment and will certainly recommend your services to others.

T.K., New York

I have spent hours on the final draft that you sent, I also showed it to a dear friend and mentor who has seen 100X more resumes than I and hired and fired more high level execs than I will ever know, she was quite impressed!…Although we have never met you and I are the team that will insure that my family is taken care of. All of this to say that I am extremely pleased with the final product! I have been too close to see how truly efficient and functional the document is. You fit a tremendous amount of “stuff” in a pretty concise package.

C.O., Nevada

The resume is outstanding, type style, layout, conciseness and its packed with good quality writing. I am very pleased. Our exchanges have been lively, thought provoking and insightful, I’m glad you are my side! Again thanks for everything, you will get referrals, and if its okay I will keep you posted on my success.

C.O., Nevada

Marie is amazing…She asks great questions, making sure she understood, and even help me in my own thought process. Beautiful.. Well written. Highlighted only the important aspects and no filler. I would recommend your service above any other available. I appreciate the professionalism and follow-through in working on this project. Your team is outstanding!

L.L., Illinois

Hi Michelle: hope you are well. Just a head’s up that I’ve referred about 10 people from Xxxxxxx to you. Hope a few turned into clients. I never let you know that thanks to your services I was ‘one for one’ — one resume sent, one interview, and one job offer! That’s all it took! Happy holidays.

A.S., Massachusetts

You’re awesome! Due to my new resume I actually see myself as qualified and marketable. Now let’s see if I can put it into action. Thanks so much Michelle.

A.M., Illinois

I believe the resume Lisa wrote for me is absolutely great. She took all the information I put into the questionnaire and put it into exactly what I was looking. The only test now is, is to see how hiring managers receive it. I would recommend the services simply because I did my own research to find out what the market was looking for in terms of writing resumes and everything I saw was exactly what I got and then some.

M.C., Utah

I am extremely pleased and impressed with Michelle Dumas from Distinctive Documents. Michelle and her team merged all of my background documents, old resumes, and completed forms into an outstanding resume. However, she did much more. While absorbing all of my background information, she summarized all of my experience into one word, intrapreneur. That’s impressive! Over the years, I have worked with some of the best writers, marketing, sales, and practice executives around the world. Michelle is definitely the best professional writer, I have ever engaged.

S.S., Virginia

Hi Michelle, First, before I say anything else, I am very impressed by your documents. I am still reviewing them but given my impatient nature, I wanted to send you a note right away :-). What you wrote and how you summarized is simply astounding to me, if I can learn to write with the skill and prose that you demonstrate here, I can likely propel my career even further. All I can say is thank you for doing such a wonderful job. This has exceeded my expectations and the proof will be the results and offers that I receive. I am counting on a good return on my investment and with these materials, believe I am on a good path.

J.W., Colorado

Thank you so much! I know what I do well and obviously you know what you do well! My LINKEDIN profile looks great and purely represents me as a professional and a person. Your team is incredible and I will be happy to endorse you and your company. I will keep you informed of my career progress and future success.

S.B., California

I just like to say to you that the CV Laura helped prepare for me was very effective, I got many views and several interviews and most important, I landed on a job l like with good pay. I intend to recommend my girlfriend use your service, as she is contemplating to switch jobs.

E.P., Singapore

My overall impression of your service is outstanding. Your staff was friendly, the service prompt, and the resume quality was excellent. I mailed out four resumes and was invited for four interviews. One of my interviewers, the one whose offer I did accept, said that this was the best put together resume that he had ever seen…

D.R., Michigan

It is so rare to find someone who does such great work, is so professional and is so accommodating. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy working with you.

J.F., Illinois

Sorry I haven’t got back to you sooner. I have been busy interviewing. I am on the brink of an offer in Boston and Pittsburgh. Boston is the role I’m hoping for. It is a great role with a world leading paper manufacturing company. I believe the resume and cover letter you prepared was very helpful in my job search. It clearly was far better than what was proposed by xxxxxxxxx consultants – the outplacement firm that I was working with. I got a lot of attention from headhunters after the first wave of your blast e-mail…Thanks for your support and I will keep in touch.

J.P., Pennsylvania

This is a response to your query concerning the value of your service. The first thing I have to say is the reason it has taken a while to respond is due to your service. The response has been great. I have received many confirmations, phone calls and have set interviews as a direct result. I have also recommended your service to a friend who is in a job search. As for ease of use – it could not be any easier. I recommend your service to any one.

B.G., Ohio

Very good service!!! Nancy was very responsive and available to answer my questions. She also reached out to me in order to have a better understanding of my career experiences and what I wanted to highlight! This is my first professional resume and I am very happy with the final product. I think that it represents my accomplishments and highlights my strengths. I have already recommended you to a couple of my friends!!!

S.N., Illinois

Most creative and excellent work, words fail me to express about this project. Really appreciate your work and I look forward to continuing with you through my friends and colleagues.

A.B., Texas

Laura was a pleasure to work with. She address all my needs and was blown away how my new resume just “POPS” and gets your attention. I will recommend to my family, friends, and colleagues about how you can launch and re-launch careers. Thanks.

S.B., New Jersey

I wanted you to know that I was offered a position yesterday here in the XXXXX area at an excellent medical device/laser therapy equipment company. I have accepted the position… Now that the search is over, I want you to know that I have had more responses to my resume in the last 3 months than at any other time in my career. I have had multiple responses to cold call mailings. (a ten fold increase over previous cold job searches) Also the e-distribution you sent out netted me 1 phone interview per every 8-10 e-mail response. Excellent!! I am a faithful supporter of your work. Thanks again.

J.W., Utah

I give Michelle my highest recommendations. Yes it may seem like a lot of money to invest but the difference can be made up on your first paycheck in your new career. It is my personal experience that you get “more than you pay for” with the quality Michelle provides…

J.P., Texas

Excellent! What a great experience working w Laura and all of you! Wonderful experience! Thanks so much!

S.W., Colorado

I would to thank you for the outstanding work you have done on my executive resume and cover letter. Both documents are perfect… In the future I don’t need to look to another company for updating my resume. I will only use the services of your company. The whole resume writing service is beyond comparison. I have never seeing such outstanding work, very friendly but high quality service.

V.M., Greece

Michelle, all I can say is WOW!! and thank you very much!! I will review in more detail this weekend and will want to schedule a call on monday to make the very few minor changes and or corrections that I have seen so far. You are awesome!!

C.H., Georgia

I am very happy with the work that has been done so far. Nancy was very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you. My resume looks fantastic. It gives me the confidence I will need to get myself noticed. Thank you.

R.S., California

I am so delighted with my resume. You did a fantastic job and I am proud to present it to people. Thanks for that.

M.E., California

Michelle has a wonderful ability to pull lots of information into a concise, action-oriented resume. The first two people I sent mine to while networking both said WOW! I highly recommend her services.

G.I., Illinois

Thanks for the early delivery. I’ll take it with me to Singapore. Based on a quick read I would say you are a magician. Thanks again.

R.V., Malaysia

I can’t believe how many people called me this morning non-stop…Thanks a million, and your way is very effective. I got a lot of people interested in my background and my experience. You are the best!

E.C., California

Hi Michelle. Since our mailing,I have had six phone interviews with recruiters leading to being a candidate for Chairman of a {Name of State} based company, CEO for a {Name of State} Company and being introduced to two private equity firms by another recruiter for Board Directorships. Two others want to introduce me to private equity firms they partner with for proprietary deals. Finally, {Name of Recruiter} of {Name of Firm} out of Silicon Valley said the resume was among the best five he has ever seen from both a format and content standpoint (maybe all 5 are your clients !)…On the VC side, I received a couple Email responses. I thought you might want to know all of this. Thanks for the great work.

T.R., Indiana

Thanks to the mailing in December, I have been in discussions with Xxxxxxx, an international banking consulting company. Actually, they contacted me the day the letter and resume was distributed. We are currently in discussions about my joining their company…I have had one offer from a Florida based company which required me to move. Unfortunately, that is not on option of me. It’s great to know that my resume is getting traction.

L.H., Texas

Recently, I had a call from a recruiter who said that in all of his years in the field, he had never see a resume format like mine. He LOVED IT!!! Of course I immediately gave him your name in the event that some of his clients might need your services. Thank you for your extraordinary gift and caring. I’ll send you periodic updates.

L.H., Texas

Amazing Resume. Many Thanks for an excellent quality of service and outstanding quality of content!!! My curator, Nancy, provide me with an exceptional quality Resume I have ever dream about. Really. No jokes? at all For sure, Now I have a chance to get a new job position with an updated doc I will get back to Nancy with request to add one or two topics to my resume…Thanks again! Hope to come back to you for a Cover Letter within a few weeks

P.P., Russia

I want to thank you with all the effort you have done! I have found already some companies which are like to have me and they want to employ me here in my favorite Country. I know, that the key was also the work you did, brushing up my career on paper and make it in a way I would never be able to. Again, thank you so much ! Receive my best Regards and I will stay in touch with you. Maybe some day I will need your help again if I would come to the US.

I.H., Hong Kong

Just wanted to update you that I have accepted a position with a consulting company that focuses on sales force effectiveness. The resume and cover letter clearly caught attention with the managing partners. I called them and the one I talked to had a call to me on his ‘to do’ list…Thank you for the discussions and for the work you did on preparing me for the employment market. I really needed the expert advice and work on my resume since it had been so long since I even tried looking.

J.K., New Jersey

I just want to let you know that this week I had four interviews and 3 job offers! One is with my mentor’s company, XXXXX, another with XXXXX, and a third with XXXXX. The salary ranges are from $80-$100k. I’m deliberating now about my options, and will start “negotiations” this afternoon. Two job offers came on the same day (yesterday). Three of the interviews came from my on line responses to ads. The XXXX interview was arranged by my mentor who suggested I apply for a position. This all happened (the callbacks) between 1-3 days after I posted my resume. The VP at XXXXX who interviewed me said that he reads thousands of resumes, and that mine was really exceptional. He was talking about your work. Thank you!

C.R., New York

I start August 4th as an assistant PM working first on a 1.5 billion (with a “b”) dollar proposal, then off to the job site in September, working either on the XXXXXX renovation project or various cultural projects with musuems, libraries, etc. in XXXXX. Starting salary $90k with a review and increase to $95 by the end of the year. If I finish my PMP and LEED certifications, I will get an additional $3k for each certification…I’m so happy that this happened so quickly and that it’s such a great job! As I mentioned, the reason they called is because of the resume. They were also impressed by the biography, and apparently the interview went well too ? Thanks again for everything. I couldn’t have done it without you.

C.R., New York

I felt Nancy did a wonderful job and I enjoyed working with her. The quality of the resume was far beyond anything that I could have ever created myself. This was my work experience, but Nancy gave my resume a life of its own. I would highly recommend your services. I really never thought that I would need a resume writing service, but its amazing what a professional writer can accomplish.

B.S., Pennsylvania

Michelle, et al., I want to thank you for your assistance during this last job search. Fortunately, I was able to make the change quickly and to a familiar locale. I’ve also referred a number of people to you as your resumes have always brought me luck. I was only out of work for 6 weeks and everyone said I had one of the best resumes they have ever seen.

L.W., Florida

Thought you’d like to know that I’ve just accepted a new position and am happy as can be. You should know that I began my search in earnest in the beginning of November and my success rate in getting calls from the companies whose postings (Monster and HeadHunter) I responded to was nothing short of phenomenal. Thanks a million Michelle for getting me noticed.

E.S., Washington D.C.

Thank You for the wonderful job on my resume and cover letter! The difference I must say is night and day; it’s really amazing:) I feel so much more confident distributing my resume now. Before, I was often hesitant to apply for more competitive jobs because I subconsciously didn’t think my resume was up to “par”, or worthy enough to distribute, especially to top tier jobs like Google, and other Fortune 500 jobs…Silicon Valley is known for its very competitive job market… Now, with my new resume and cover letter, I feel so much more CONFIDENT that my resume will get me noticed in the more competitive jobs, which is exactly why I hired Distinctive Document’s services! So, in this case, I did definitely get what I paid for :0) (This sounds so much like one of those accolades on your website lol but it’s true!) I cannot thank you enough, and I cannot stop admiring my resume and cover letter…I love them that much!

J.M., California

Great service that delivered as promised. I’ll be back. One needs a solid resume in today’s tough market.

K.R., Texas

…I am pleased to let you know that I found a job I want successfully. I am now with XXXX as their Chief Operating Officer responsible for Wordwide Operations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for your professional services and I would strongly recommend you to others who might be in need of your services. Attached is my new business card for your information.

O.Y., Oregon

I just want to take the time and thank you for your assistance. The quality of and sharpness of my resume has never been so good. Plus, the advice to improve my cover letter also helped tremendously. I saw an immediate impact with your resume, which led me to receive several job offers. I will recommend your services to anyone who needs help in putting a resume together, or those that think they have it together. It was an investment well worth it.

N.H., California

I got this comment from an executive search firm that we are discussing an opportunity…“By the way, you have one of the sharpest resumes I’ve seen! The design is very professional and readable.

S.Z., Massachusetts

I just wanted to personally thank you for the incredible resume you prepared for me! Yesterday, I sent a resume to a company via email and I had a response waiting for me first thing this morning. When I first saw this in my inbox, I thought it was going to be a quick note indicating they received my resume, etc. This was not the case. The recruiter was pleased and wanted to set up a time for a phone interview and asked me to answer some basic questions. This is the first time I sent out my new resume and I received an immediate response. It takes alot for me to be satisfied and be able to respect individual’s work. Needless to say, you have my utmost respect and I am extremely pleased! This was the best thing I could have ever done to enhance my career. Thank you once again!

K.W., Ohio

As an English teacher, I am very satisfied with the quality of the writing and presentation of the documents. Sharon did what I have not been able to do! I am submitting my documents for my dream job tonight and am very excited about the quality of the work. I would recommend that anyone wanting to improve their chances should use Distinctive Documents.

C.K. California

I was a little hesitant to use your service because of the cost, but you have exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results! I am so excited and proud to send out my resume. Thank you for offering a top-notch service! You’re the best!

P.C., Minnesota

I wanted to give you a heads up. I’ve passed your name onto a few friends and and her husband may contact you shortly for resume services. also has two girlfriends which may contact you also, but she can fill you in on that when she contacts you. I’ve also forwarded your information to another of my colleagues…Regarding my job search. I’ve received two offers and turned both down. A few other interviews, but nothing I wanted to pursue. I took the summer off the job search and intend to re-enter the market at the end of this week…I’ll let you know how things go.

M.V., Connecticut

…I’ve told that I intend to leave and have signed a temporary contract with them through the end of the year. As part of my agreement to “hang around” to allow them to transition stuff over and find a replacement, they’ve provided executive outplacement services. I’m working with Xxxxxx and my “career coach” may contact you also. He stated that he had never seen such a well phrased resume, and I told him how happy I had been with your services and turnaround. does not have anyone as experienced as you in this area.

M.V., Connecticut

I wanted to let you know I have accepted a new position as an account manager with Xxxxx. I definitely believe the custom written resume and cover letter made the difference. It got me the interview, actually multiple interviews, and the position I was offered matched my work history and background extremely well. I am very excited to start my new job and feel very thankful to have such a wonderful opportunity in these challenging times. Thanks again to you and your team. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and family.

S.C., Kansas

I’m very appreciative of the high quality of the resumes your team completed both times! I’ll continue to refer your services to friends.

L.V., California

As my resume is reaching its final completion stage, I would like to thank you for your help. Nancy did a great job with my resume, and helped me figure out what exactly I wanted (which was a task on its own). Entering the professional world for the first time is daunting and scary and I feel more confident with the resources your company has provided.

M.O., Colorado

Michelle I was so right in choosing you as the author of my resume. I am incredibly pleased, no… more than that, blown away with your artistry and skill. It was always my objective to look this good on paper… why, I’d even hire me based on this presentation.

G.G., New Jersey

I just wanted to thank you very much for your help. The resume is great and I can’t believe that I did not do it sooner. It is a night and day difference between my old and new resume. After I received the resume the response went from 1 in 10 [originally] to 9 in 10 [with new resume]. I have accepted a position with a large insurance company less than 4 wks after I received the resume. Again, thank you very much and I am sure that I will be back to update my resume.

R.B., Canada

I took a look at your draft and I love it! I knew that if I had somebody write it for me it would be much better than what I could do… Thanks for your help, I look forward to hearing from you and FYI I’m telling my friends about you so look for more business from Texas.

D.M., Texas

I was offered a position with XXXXXXXX as Senior Communications Associate…I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for all of your help. Your work is amazing!!! If there are any feedback forms or things you need me to complete, please don’t hesitate to ask….I also shared your name with another colleague…I think your services can be of great assistance to him.

G.G., Indiana

While I did not know quite what to expect and was further worried about the material you had to work with, I found my resume draft to be the brightest light in my week…as advertised, “Distinctive Documents”. I have never seen any other medical resume so uniquely done. Thank-you. I am amazed that you were able to take some of my answers and create such a wonderful piece of work..I almost didn’t recognize myself!!!

D.G., Arizona

I’ve been so busy with my job hunt, I haven’t been able to write you! I’ve gotten responses from many recruiters and most of them mention how great my resume is. Eli Lilly is supposedly very interested in me right now, but I haven’t heard from them. I had a rep recommend me for a position with them. Otherwise, I’m interviewing with a biotech company for a great sales position and I’m going through the process with Abbott, Merck and AstraZeneca. I actually received the call out of the blue from a district manager with AstraZeneca last night. He was looking over my resume because he just had a position open up in his territory and he wanted to talk with me. We connected this afternoon and he invited me to interview with them on Friday!

L.C., Rhode Island

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my resume and I belong to many bulletin boards and discussion groups for pharmaceutical sales wanna-be’s. Many people ask for resume advice and tips. I always point them your way! I’m so glad I picked you. I just can’t say enough about what a wonderful job you did on both my resume and cover letter. My husband is definitely going to ask you to do his resume once I get a position. I hope some of these other people take my advice as well, it will make their job search so much easier!! Thanks again, really. I’ll let you know when I land my position!

L.C., Rhode Island

I just wanted to send you a quick update. Everyone was definitely impressed and dazzled by the resume you created for me! Since I started my search, I’ve seen dozens of other sales resumes and yours left them ALL in the dust! Some of them were even professionally designed and I really can’t believe how little they got for their money. Although I did receive offers from pharma companies, I finally accepted an offer from a medical device company! I’m now a medical sales consultant and I LOVE my new career! I want to thank you again for helping me get my foot in the door with landing interviews and for all of the stress you took off my shoulders by taking my resume on. Now that I have my dream job, my husband will definitely be contact you SOON!

L.C., Rhode Island

Thank you for the new resume and cover letter. The resume is the best resume I have read! That includes all the candidates I have interviewed over the past ten years…I am impressed with your work. I was fortunate to find you on the Internet and pleased that I called you. You have enhanced my resume. It is like night and day. Thank you very much.

B.L., New Jersey

The service was very organized and with clear instruction. The overall quality was excellent. The final resume was very clean, professional and “popped”. I like it very much! I am very satisfied with the quality of the resume.I will definitely recommend other to your service.

B.L., California

Working with Sharon was an absolutely wonderful experience. She is very knowledgeable and is very responsive. I am very pleased with the finished resume.

S.T., Florida

Last Monday I received a call from a low level recruiter…she was looking for a candidate to fill a Packaging Engineer position that paid $60-$70,000 per year. I emailed her my new resume, the one you created, and immediately received a call from her boss. The boss was a much more savvy, high powered, recruiter. She had a much higher position in mind for me…The interview went very well. My second interview, this time with the CEO and the directors…is scheduled …The position is for a Business Development Manager to start a new division….The salary for this position starts at $120,000 per year. I just can not thank you enough for the all the hard work you did to create such an outstanding resume and set of support letters. The recruiter received the recruiter letter and resume. The company received the resume and the thank you letter. Things are looking good to land the perfect job for my experience and aspirations.

K.M., Missouri

Michelle, I sent the new resume to my references and some friends who have been supporting my search. And the reactions so far is: wonderful, impressive, wow, wonderful, very professional, here comes 10 superjobs! I thought you would appreciate hearing these reactions to your work!! Thank you!

C.C., New York

Very good service; I was impressed with Marie’s level of knowledge when asking HR related questions. I love the resume! Its format helps to highlight the important aspects of my skill sets and accomplishments.

N.B., New York

I want to let you know that today I am accepting a job offer that matches virtually every desired element of my search. There is no doubt in my mind that the service you provided in the course of my resume project made this great success possible. Please accept my deepest thanks and sincere appreciation for a job very well done.

J.G., Kentucky

I wanted to take a quick minute to thank you and your excellent associates for helping me in my job search. Prior to using your services I was averaging about one call from every 10th resume or application I submitted for a potential job. This had led me to increase the number of positions I was applying for which meant that I was going after positions that were not really right for me. After working with Distinctive Documents and reworking my resume I was getting responses from about 40% of the applications I was sending out, and I was only applying for positions that were directly in-line with my qualifications and expectations. Within one month of working with my new resume I was in the position of having multiple offers and have ended up accepting the perfect position.

A.E., Georgia

When this job was posted on LinkedIn (where my profile had also been updated by Distinctive Documents) the employer received over 300 applications and I was one of 6 people interviewed. My LinkedIn profile and resume were instrumental in getting me the interview, and in helping me secure my new job…I had been looking for a job for 6 months prior to working with Distinctive Documents and I found myself applying for positions for which I little excitement. After going through the entire process with your team I was able to narrow my search and land the perfect career position as a Xxxxxxx Manager with a major European company expanding operations in the U.S. market. Thanks so much for your help!

A.E., Georgia

Prior to utilizing your services I had a good resume that was producing results, but after working with your firm I have a great resume that is formatted in way that clearly demonstrates my value to prospective employers in a way that separates me from most other job seekers. The process of working through the worksheets and talking with my writer also helped me articulate my experiences in a value driven perspective that has served me exceptionally well during interviews. I have directly recommended your services to several colleagues and will continue to do so.

A.E., Georgia

Sharon did an outstanding job. I was very impressed by the high quality of her work and her attention to my project. I will certainly recommend your services to others. Thank you.

J.F., Massachusetts

Michelle, It has been a pleasure to work with you on this project. I will be sure to recommend your services to my associates. I sought out someone like you to be able to put down on paper my experiences and you certainly delivered. It is funny how I could not have put my own life on paper better than someone who has not even met me face to face. Thanks a million.

O.G., Florida

I am very satisfied w/ the work Marie did; I think it was helpful the way you’ve designed the process — setting expectations around deliverable dates, etc… This kept things realistic in my own mind. Resume looks great, happy with the structure and I think Marie emphasized all of the right areas as we had discussed. Just to say that in addition to Marie’s frequent follow-up, I think the emails from Michelle — even if some were system generated — gave the process a very personal feeling. I’ve held off when approached by other individuals or companies when they’ve pitched a resume re-write, b/c the whole process felt like I was buying a used car — your team obviously accentuates the finer points of the soft sell, which explains why Execunet works with you. Thanks for the great work.

B.O., Pennsylvania

I have been waiting before writing to give you the great news…I applied to about eight recruitment agencies with my resume attached, all on the Internet. Within a few days I was contacted and asked to go for an interview at a company only 35 miles away. It is 3.5 years old and sells consultancy at a very senior level in large corporations…This week I received the offer letter… I have to say I did not think I would find another job at my age, but with a combination of good luck and a good resume, I made it….Initially I thought your service was expensive, but given the results, no one could complain. Thank you again.

P.B., United Kingdom

What has become very clear in this process is the incredible value of a good resume. Because you made it abundantly clear what I had achieved through a “messy” but interesting career path, this recruitment agency was immediately able to connect my past experience with the vacancy they knew needed me. I did not need to explain the details of my past but rather was able to continually point out where my past benefited or suited the vacancy being offered. It meant that I was able to concentrate on selling myself rather than explaining myself away…So, to say thank you seems so inadequate. But say it, I will. Thank you for doing such a good job.

P.B., United Kingdom

I am traveling to Utah and California for job interviews this week. I will let you know how it turns out next week. Resume is excellent!! Just look at results, 4 months on my own resume..zero calls…1 week with yours..going for interviews!!

D.H., New Hampshire

I am extremely pleased with the cover letter and resume you produced for me. I have a very complex multi-faceted background that you were able to consolidate into a concise and very effective salable presentation of my skills. The documents you produced were far better than my originals and I feel were more than worth the price I paid for them. It was a pleasure working with you and I will be recommending you to my friends and associates.

L.S., Texas

The job search has ramped up into high gear since I starting using the resume you prepared for me. I interviewed today for a position as a Property Accountant with a real estate management company. My “skill set” was a great match with what they were looking for, so thanks for your efforts. I feel confident I will be offered the position. Thanks again, I’ll keep you posted.

M.M., New Hampshire

My background is a particularly difficult one to handle in a resume both due to my having multi-functional and multi-industry experience, and my having had 9 positions in 25 years, none of which could be eliminated…Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay her is that before I hired her, I had just had my resume rewritten by another writer who has written a book on executive resumes, and that resume was not nearly the quality of her work, with an executive recruiter I know letting me know that her version was “MUCH better”. My only reluctance in providing this testimonial is that it will encourage others to utilize her services, decreasing my “edge” over other candidates by having a resume prepared by Ms. Dumas.

M.M., New York

Thank you so much for all the work you have done! Frankly, I dreaded the prospect of writing my resume initially. I hit upon the idea of finding someone else to do it and that process was no picnic either, till I found you! You have made this whole process so easy and pleasant. When I got the first draft of my resume I thought, “She must have sent me the wrong resume…who is this person?!”. When I found my name and realized that the jobs and experiences were indeed mine, WOW was I amazed! That was the best money I ever spent! Here we are a year later with an update, and yet another excellent job. As much as I dislike changing jobs at least I know that the resume writing will no longer be an issue, I have you! Thanks again.

J.C., Washington

Thank you for checking in to see how things are going. Sharon sent me the initial draft and I must say I’m quite happy with the result. I’m going through it to see if I want any changes done, but I doubt I will want anything major changed. I am so glad my friend recommended distinctive web for me! And I am now recommending it to my uncle who also wants to work on his CV. I already sent my cv sample (the before and after) and he was impressed.

S.A., United Arab Emirates

This is just a short note to let you know that I have been offered the position of Director of Educational and Administrative Technology for the XXXX XXXX XXXX…Feedback from some of the members of the selection committee revealed that they were “blown away” by the resume. Actually, they only had me in for a single interview. This leads me to believe that this particular employer took great credence on the ability of the resume to communicate in my absence. I consider your work very instrumental in both the success of landing the job, and in the ability to successfully assert a salary requirement that is significantly higher for this particular area of the country…You can be sure that you are a permanent part of my electronic rolodex. If anyone ever needs a top-quality resume, you can be sure that your name will be mentioned.,

M.Z., New York

The quality and responsiveness of this service are excellent. Your electronic systems are easy to work with and require little effort to understand. Everything in this process is done professionally and with speed. This was an investment in my future I am glad that I did. The resume and cover letter designed for me is simply outstanding! I will recommend your services to friends and colleagues.

P.Z., Louisiana

Not only will I be more than happy to endorse your services, but I would welcome personal contact with anyone considering using your services. As I am sure that you are aware, many people may feel skeptical about this type of service on line. I feel as though we have sat side by side at the same desk working on this project. Your relationship with me has been extremely personal, specific, and customized to meet my needs and certainly exceed my expectations. I can’t thank you enough.

L.P., Pennsylvania

Thank you so much for the great resume. Thomas did a superb job and should be commended for such. The resume looks great and Thomas made the entire process easy and smooth. I would like you to know that since I was laid off the day I returned the worksheet to you I was in a scramble to draft up my own just so that I would have something to use in my job search until I received my “Distinctive” resume. When I received my resume, I was blown away at how much better Thomas was able to present the same information. More than that though, my resume from Distinctive Documents is truly a confidence booster and for that I’ll never be able to thank you enough. Please recognize Thomas for his great work and professionalism. And thank you, thank you, thank you! I will recommend your services to others without hesitation.

J.H., South Carolina

Michelle, you got me a 6 figure position in a major recession, thx!

K.B., Texas

The job search went well, and I have accepted a position with XXXX as an Executive Consultant. There is no doubt in my mind that the quality of my resume opened some doors. In addition to XXXX, I was a finalist for a CTO position at XXXXX, and I declined another offer from XXXX International. Only two things matter when trying to get your foot in the door: networking and the quality of your resume…Feel free to use me as a reference at any time. Thank you.

G.S., Michigan

I really like the work you have done and I now understand how a pro like you can take a pretty good document to whole different level. Early on in my experience with your company, I was curious how my personal brand would come through. As my wife reviewed your work with me, she said ‘this is so YOU’. Mission accomplished! So, congratulations and thank you to you, Nancy, for a job well done. Please count me as a very satisfied customer and feel free to use me as a customer reference if the need should ever arise.

T.M., Minnesota

Michelle, I worked with you last January on my resume and various materials. They were excellent and you were excellent. I was going through a tough time and you and your resume gave me the confidence I needed to have the successful year I have enjoyed. I had several interviews and opportunities, but in the end decided I wanted to have my own business. So, I ended up staying at my job turning around Xxxxxxxxx, starting some ancillary businesses with it, and I go in to meet the President of the parent company Monday to make an offer. Your resume has helped open the door with many investors. I will let you know how it all turns out. I have and will continue to refer your company to friends and colleagues. You may be getting an inquiry from one today.

M.I., Georgia

I am more than pleased with my new resume! It is creative, eye-catching and captures my strengths and experiences. I am also impressed with your ability to be flexible with various ways to communicate with me throughout the process. Part of my reservation with updating my resume previously was that it would be difficult and time consuming. It wasn’t and the end result was wonderful!

C.R., Maryland

Michelle – Thanks again for the services provided, although I will not have to use my resume at this time it is very empowering and encouraging to know that it is ready to go. The quality has exceeded my expectations and I will share that with folks I mentor or colleagues looking for similar services.

J.M., Illinois

My service with Laura was outstanding. she did such an amazing job on my documents. At first I was skeptical and concerned about the price.. but in the end it is worth every penny. No suggestions at this point just keep up the great work. I am blown away at how amazing, well written and professional my resume documents look. Definitely will recommend to all who will listen!

L.M., Canada

I just wanted to let you know that I sent my resume in Tuesday morning to the Xxxxxxxxx Association and they called my Tuesday afternoon to schedule an interview for Thursday morning. The job I applied for is Director of Events Planning and Volunteers. Thanks for writing a great resume. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

B.O., Colorado

I used your services approx 16 months go and have now been in my current role for 1 year. I am 100% positive the investment in your services helped get me an interview and secure a 6 figure position. In a sea of similar resume’s and great talent searching for employment you helped me stand out from the crowd. Still we remain in tumultuous time and deep recession. I think it only prudent to that I keep my resume and cover letters up to date with current employment and performance measures. I would like to consider using you to update my documents.

J.M., North Carolina

Thank you for your services and the excellent resume you produced as a result. There is no question in my mind that this distinctive resume provided me with far more opportunities to talk to recruiters and principals than I would have had otherwise. More than once I heard recruiters say “I pick out two resumes from over 1000 internet responses and you were one of them.” Bottom line I achieved exactly what I was looking for: in terms of position, location, and income AND I had choices in terms of multiple offers. It all started by getting someone to notice my resume in with a thousand others.

C.M., Indiana

Sharon was able to take a complex situation and mold it into a work of art. I cannot say enough good things about the way she did her job and the way she showed her concern about helping me get my resume and career changing transition points across. I felt very comfortable in relying on her expertise. She did an excellent job! I am sure that my resume was not easy to put together. I provided a lot of information, some of which may not have been easy to relate to. Sharon was able to take that information and create a resume to fit the needs of myself and the companies I would apply to. The end result was a high quality, highly profession document.

B.R., New Hampshire

When searching for a resume writing service, I was a bit apprehensive at first. Ordering and paying for a service without ever meeting the service provider face to face is something that I am very much not used to doing. I can now say that I am glad that I took the risk. From the beginning, everyone I spoke with was very helpful and professional. The follow-up contact was very good and I appreciated that. I also appreciated the worksheet, which did what it was intended to do; by the writer getting to know my background, and me coming to realize the depth of my background and accomplishments. The end result of my experience with your company was the attainment of a very professional resume, an increase in job search motivation, and the confidence in knowing that I am putting forth the best possible effort in making a good first impression and landing the right job. I would absolutely recommend your services to friends, relatives and co-workers.

B.R., New Hampshire

Your team was responsive to me at the start of the process and even more responsive when I picked this back up 6 months later. The quality of my interactions with your team has been second to none and I will happily recommend you and your team to my colleagues. I am blown away by the quality of these documents. These are exactly what I need to move to the next stage in my career and I know they will help me get where I want to be. I will happily recommend your company to friends and colleagues. I couldn’t be happier and I thank you again for your help.

S.C., Massachusetts

The resume is even better than I expected and I am certainly pleased with the outcome, especially since I do not believe that I would have been able produce this quality the first time out.This service has clearly pointed out the need for a professional resume writer to clearly articulate areas where I would have undersold myself.

C.D., Maryland

What I can say is this, ten years ago I credit your resume for providing the edge over the competition with regards to “getting my foot in the door” after relocating to a new city. Within two weeks of distributing my resume I landed a 100K+ engineering position that I still hold today. What else can be said, that is a quantifiable edge. I also found that your service is absolutely as outstanding today as it was ten years ago.

C.A., California

I can’t think of anything to suggest as far as improvements…it was a great experience with an incredible finished product! I loved the fact that the strategy behind the writing unfolded the true story of my career and highlighted all of the critical points! The quality of the finished product blew me away! I have already started telling friends and colleauges about Distinctive.com! professionalism.

T.S., New York

All I can say is AMAZING!!!!!!! The work completed is professional the resume is great as well as the cover letter. I will point all my friends in your direction for work needed on their resumes.

N.S., New York

I LOVE IT!!!! Anyone who is considering a career move should be directing their resume needs to Distinctive. This is absolutely perfect! This kind of resume is exactly what I need, but lack the experience, knowledge and time to create. I am very good at what I do, but my knowledge and my abilities have their limitiations. Acceptance of my limitations is precisely what makes me very good. However, finding the people with the knowledge and abilities that I lack, is what makes me great. Thank you for building my resume with greatness!

L.S., Michigan

I wanted to thank you for your efforts with my resume and mailing. Several days after the Internet mailing was sent, I received a call from a fantastic company. After 3 long interviews I received an offer this evening as a Director of Operations… I will be a Vice President within a year! It’s public and offered a +90K salary plus with Equity. Thank you for doing a fantastic job. Keep in touch! I will update my background with you every so often.

B.G., New Jersey

It was hard to accept change when I’m so invested into the version I had prepared myself. Without question the change has been a benefit and I’m proud to stand on it….The new version is much clearer, more organized and significantly easier to read. I have great confidence it displays my abilities best. I hope to be back in a three or four years when I have more experience under my belt and I’m ready to move to another position.

M.Z., Canada

Great news ! After not much success with my job search I had your company rewrite my resume. Immediately after I received my resume from you I started to get interviews. Sometimes up to 3 different companies a week. After only 4 weeks of interviewing I am delighted to tell you today I have received a job offer for a wonderful job. Not only is a great company and location it is also a pay increase of 28%. I did the math and the cost of my resume has only 1% of my pay increase. The Human Resource Manager said that she literally received hundreds of resume and mine stood out among all of them. Thanks so much.

M.B., New Hampshire

Michelle, I just wanted you to know that a recruiter commented positively on my resume today…she said the body of the resume was impeccable, the best she has seen in a long time.

P.H., New Hampshire
